In Brazil, currently the education sector has been undergoing transformations involving from curriculum reform to implementation assessments at the national level to identify the hot spots of high school. This work aims to analyze the teaching process learning in Geography in high school, with the empirical basis of the analysis state schools Calpurnia Caldas de Amorim and Educational Center José Augusto, and private Diocesan College Seridoense and Integrated Educational Center Seridó, both located in the city of Caicó, State of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. The issue that aroused the interest in research is anchored in the poor performance of students in the discourse of vestibular tests in UFRN, and the time frame the period between 2002 and 2012. In terms of methodology, the research was based on bibliographic research, documentary, interview written with the Geography teachers of educational institutions, as well as visits at different times to those schools. The results indicate that the teaching staff is made up of graduates in Geography, all with over 20 years of experience in the class room and experts. In addition, it was found that there is virtually no planning, teachers just follow the contents proposed in the textbook or the guidelines of education systems. Another item that deserves to be highlighted concerns the evaluation instruments, because while it predominate objective assessments in schools, vestibular students were also subjected to essay questions, and these mostly developed in context and with different languages. Therefore, not diversification of these instruments in schools may have contributed over the years so that students were able to unsatisfactory results.
